I'm not really sure..... I guess it's the white with black sub dials one...... or perhaps the all white one.... Actually also love to wear the black with white sub dials..... Don't wear the all black one a lot though.

I have switched the bezel ring between the 2 panda's. I think they are better looking like this. Just a matter of tast I guess I also replaced the 2 blue chrono hands (from the black dial with white sub dials) for silver ones.

Just some pics of my wifes pam 48. What did I do with it: Relumed dial and hands with C3 Gen strap Gen deployment Lello date wheel Chiefs AR Chiefs Cyclops New crown (I have bought it as a gen but have my doubts) Modded CG Serviced movement If I compare it to the gen of a friend of mine, I'm really thinking of removing one AR layer to make it more gen like. Ciao, Sander

Just thought, lets take some pics of my little Portuguese family. (to help Concepta to sell those lovely movements ) They all have gen straps and buckles, Chiefs newest AR and fully serviced movements. The White one also has a gen movement, dial and hands. Two have the old movements and one has the upgraded one. (actually quite funny, I have bought one from a trusted dealer as the new model. Unfortunately it came with the old movement!) The movements are running great (for almost a year now) and I don't notice any difference between the old and the new models. I don't believe in the graphite treatment so just a complete service did the trick for me. Ciao, Sander

If I'm not mistaken, most people here have a hard time to have theire reps serviced. They are shipped all over the world to get it done. Where can you find a watchmaker who can and will service it and how will you shipp it?

Just be very careful with hands. My experience is that they scratch very easy. It's also a really thin Rhodium layer which is easy to remove. When I clean hands and dials, I always take a new piece of Rodico. I noticed that it works way better than a used piece. You can also polish them with Cap Cod and then have them Rhodium plated again.

I'll kill someone for a nice 250 dial. You are a fortunate guy with these two beauties. Well done my friend!

wow, very nice job! (as always)

Wow, nice combo man. I also changed my black themes dial for this one. For some reason I missed my black themes so I changed it back. With the brown hornback though

Hi Guys, For some reason I always loved the FM Vegas model. I just bought a gen dial (for the 5850 model) and now I

I'll trade you mine C1 superlumed, full serviced, gen strap and deployment for this one

I think I have "fixed" like 10 of them this way. Afther a while (mine is still doing fine though) you have to squeeze it again but al least it works.

The crown tube is the problem with these models. I'm pretty sure the crown is still ok. The best way to solve it is to replace it for a new one but unfortunately the dealers will not supply it. What normally works is to squeeze the tube just a little.

I like all the new casablanca models. The only problem for me is the size. It's HUGE!

Water doesn't do anything with the lume. Just show us a pic of it so that we can give you a good advise.

Seems pretty gen to me..... why would it be a rep?

Hi Wheaton, Where are the pics........ can't wait to pull the trigger

Oh please, don't make me buy one.

Oh... I forgot to mention that the lug screws are also in the wrong position. 100% sure it's a fake.

If you look at the crown position, you can see that it's fake.

I see that Josh is listing 3 models. I assume that rkdk is talking about this one: http://www.jpc8118.com/aap10052-royal-chronograph-rgru-grey-a7750-sec12-p-5743.html Here is a comparison with the gen. I know the pics are alway terrible at Josh site but the dial seems a bit too black though. PLEASE MR.RKDK, SHOW US SOME PICS OF THE ONE YOU HAVE.

I forgot....I was wondering why the balance was removed on the 4th pic?

Very nice set you got there. As Chief said, I would put an all black croc on it. I have a black croc with white stitch for it but for some reason, I think that the all black one looks better. Did you have any problems fitting the rep hand on the gen movement?
